But in recent years, people are much concerned about football violence.--- the FA Cup: is the trophy title for a series of games played by major member teams of the Football Association(足协). Over 20 million tickets are sold to FA games each season. And sometimes, supporters of rival teams clash violently before, during and after the matches.*Note: association football 英式足球(在英国称soccer), 遵守FA的规则football: (美) American football 美式橄榄球(英) soccer(英式足球)rugby(英式橄榄球)篮球场:football pitch/ ground/fieldII. tennis--- a more gentle sport played by people in early summer. It was invented in Britain and owes its origins to the church. As early as the mid-fifteenth century, people were playing a game called “tenys” around their local churches or cathedrals.

It is a quite distinctive sport in many ways—1) the players wear white trousers and appear quite formally dressed; 2) matches do not last just a few hours and they can go on for days—and has much influence on British people‟s life. Cricket is often believed to be associated wi th a set of English moral values such as “fair play”(光明正大的态度、行为).* British English is still full of references and phrases to cricket, such as---to be “on a sticky wicket”: to face difficulties (sticky wicket 原意是指板球比赛中，雨后周围场地泥泞的三柱门，因这种情况使球跳不高而难击，所以喻指艰难的处境)---to “throw a googly”: to act unpredictably （googly原指变向曲线球）--- what you are doing is “not cricket”: you are not behaving ethicly or honourably in a situation--- you are “playing with a straight bat”: you are an honest man （straight bat原指直握球板）* 板球场cricket field 板球球棒cricket batIV. golf--- a game invented by the Scottish.

据说早在13世纪，英王爱德华一世就曾在英格 兰东南部的肯特参加过类似板球的运动。板球被 誉为贵族运动，亨利八世称板球为“国王的运 动”。直至今日，板球还是被看中产阶级的运 动。板球的打法并不复杂：每方11人轮流上场打 分，得分高者即为胜家。队员使用的球拍是一块 木板， 打的是红皮小球，与棒球、垒球等非常相 似，都要求投球手投掷的速度越快越好，对方击 球越远越好。 • 不过，英国各板球俱乐部如今还在遵守着一个延 续了几百年的陋习：不欢迎女士。
• 除足球、板球、赛马、网球外，深为英国人喜爱的还有拳
击、、高尔夫球、斯诺克和英式橄榄球么等项目。登山、 探险、摩托车、游泳、划艇、乒乓球、篮球、羽毛球、滑 冰等项目开展也较好。游泳、田径、花样滑冰、赛艇等项 目,在奥运会上多次获金牌。

• Cricket was one of the first team sports in Britain to have organized rules and to be played according to the same rules nationally. Before the Victorian era, and in modern Britain, people from all walks of life play cricket, but in the 19th century, cricket became a sport associated with the upper class. It was a kind of “snob（恃才傲物 的人）” game played by boys who attended public schools. • Cricket matches usually do not last just a few hours. They can go on for days.
